Introduction: Guinea is one of the poorest and most rundown countries in West Africa. But it should be rich. Guinea is the world’s largest producer of bauxite. This former French colony in West Africa also has large reserves of gold, diamonds and iron ore. Guinea is a green and fertile country of 10 million people. It has good potential for agriculture. Yet it is heavily dependent on imports of its staple food rice. The country suffered a steady economic decline during its first half century of independence under the autocratic rule of two authoritarian presidents; Ahmed Sekou Toure and Lansana Conte. Today, its infrastructure is decayed, its people are poor and its politics are dangerously divided along ethnic lines. However, in 2010, Guinea began to experiment for the first time with political freedom and genuine democracy. Opposition parties were legalized for the first time in 1992. But genuine political liberalization only began following the death in office of President Lansana Conte in December 2008. He had been in power for 24 years and left no obvious successor. 4 A military government led by junior army officers seized power after Conte’s death and promised to lead Guinea to free elections and a new era of civilian government. However, splits within the military establishment and the violent suppression of opposition demonstrations by the army nearly derailed the fragile democratization process. Army Captain Moussa Dadis Camara led the military junta that took power after Conte’s death. He initially pledged not to stand as a presidential candidate in the 2010 elections. But a few months later Camara changed his mind and began hinting that he would stand for election after all. Camara’s increasingly unpopular rule eventually provoked protest demonstrations in the capital Conakry in September 2009. These were brutally repressed by the army. Human rights groups said at least 157 people were killed in a sports stadium when soldiers opened fire on demonstrators and sexually assaulted women. Camara was forcibly removed from the political scene three months later. In December 2009, he was shot and seriously wounded by one of his aides in an apparent assassination attempt. After medical treatment in Morocco, Camara went quietly into exile. General Sekouba Konate, a former ally of Camara who opposed his bid to remain president, assumed power as interim head of state. He guided Guinea through presidential elections in June 2010 and a second round run-off between the two leading contenders in November. Konate finally handed over power to his elected successor, Alpha Conde, in December 2010. However, the electoral process was marred by ethnic violence between Guinea’s three main ethnic groups – the the Peul, the Malinke and the Soussou. Not surprisingly, the vote split along ethnic lines. The Malinke people rallied to veteran opposition leader Alpha Conde and his Rassemblement du Peuple de Guinee (RPG) party. The Peul meanwhile supported Cellou Dalein Diallo, a former prime minister under Lansana Conte, and his Union des Forces Democratiques de Guinee (UFDG). There were frequent clashes between Malinkes and Peuls as the two main parties traded accusations of fraud. The Sousou tribe, to which the late president Conte belonged, mostly swung behind Alpha Conde. 5 Conde won the second round run-off with 53% of the vote, according to official results. Diallo alleged fraud, but eventually conceded defeat, allowing Conde to be sworn in as president in December 2010. Despite the relatively peaceful transition to civilian rule, ethnic tensions continue to simmer. Political analysts feared that they could boil over again as Guinea headed towards parliamentary elections in late 2011. Guinea also faces possible destabilization as a result of problems in neighbouring countries. During the 1990s, Guinea hosted up to 800,000 refugees fom Liberia and Sierra Leone after these two countries collapsed into civil war. The Guinean government gave covert support to rebels opposing President Charles Taylor in Liberia. Taylor retaliated in kind. In 2000 the government in Conakry was forced to repel a Taylor-backed invasion of central Guinea by gunmen from Liberia. By 2011, Sierra Leone and Liberia were both a peace again under the rule of elected governments. Nearly all the Liberian and Sierra Leonean refugees in Guinea had gone home. However, Guinea remained vulnerable to instability spilling over the border from its neighbours. Guinea-Bissau, to the north, had fallen under the influence of South American drug smugglers and was regarded by many diplomats as a failed state. Guinea-Conakry has also been used as a transit point for drug smuggling from South America into Europe. In early 2011, Guinea’s eastern neighbor Cote d’Ivoire relapsed into full-scale civil war after seven years of armed truce between rival factions controlling the north and the south of the country. Peace and democracy in Liberia and Sierra Leone meanwhile remained fragile. The official language of Guinea is French. It is used widely in government, business and the media. The main African languages spoken are Soussou, Malinke (also known as Maninka) and Peul (also known as Pular). These and several other local languages are also widely used on radio. Peul is the most widely spoken local language in Guinea. 6 It is spoken by 40% of the population and dominates the Fouta Djallon highlands in the centre and north of the country. The language of the Malinke people is a dialect of Mandingo, a language spoken in several West African countries. Malinke is spoken by about 30% of the population. It is most common in northern and eastern parts of Guinea and neighbouring parts of Sierra Leone, Liberia and Mali. Soussou is mainly spoken in the southwestern coastal area around Conakry. It is the mother tongue of about 20% of the population. Kissi and Kpelle are widely spoken along parts of the southern border with Sierra Leone and Liberia. Several other local languages are spoken in the ethnically diverse Forest Region of southeastern Guinea, whose capital is the city of Nzerekore. Language map of Guinea and Guinea Bissau- www.ethnologue.com About 85% of the population of Guinea are Sunni Muslims. About 8% are Christian. However, Christians, despite their minority status, are heavily represented in the country’s educated elite. The remaining 7% follow traditional animist religions. 7 Radio is the most common medium for disseminating information to the public. A government-run network of 23 community stations called Radio Rurale covers most of the interior. Poor infrastructure, widespread poverty, low levels of literacy and tight government control of the media, have hampered the development of television and newspapers. Only one in three adults can read and write. Since the liberalization of broadcasting was first announced in 2005, at least 17 private radio stations have been established. They now challenge the long-standing monopoly of the state broadcaster Radiodiffusion-Television Guinéenne (RTG) in Conakry and a handful of other towns in the interior. Television remains a state monopoly, but it only reaches Conakry and a handful of other large towns. Newspapers barely circulate outside the capital. The use of mobile telephones, particularly for SMS messaging, is increasing rapidly. 5.7 million people – just over half the population – owned a mobile phone in late 2010, according to the GSM Association, which groups the world’s main mobile phone companies. During the 2010 presidential elections, the crisis reporting platform Ushahidi www.ushahidi.com , was used by the NGO Alliance Guinea www.allianceguinea.org to collate several hundred reports of alleged voting irregularities from people on the ground. These reports were sent to the site via text messages and email in real time. The Ushahidi program allowed Alliance Guinea to track and map trouble hot spots and work with the Guinean Electoral Commission to tackle corruption and electoral impropriety. Ushahidi was also used to monitor

  • Lessons Learned from 2014–2016 Ebola Outbreak in Guinea, a Review of RCCE Related Publications
    Lessons Learned from 2014–2016 Ebola Outbreak in Guinea, A Review of RCCE Related Publications Background The Ebola outbreak in Guinea began in December 2013 and was declared over in June 2016, resulting in 3,814 cases and 2,544 deaths.1 The outbreak and response efforts were affected by community opposition, which was more intense in Guinea than in the other Ebola-affected countries of Liberia or Sierra Leone. This has been attributed to social and political tensions, including previous coercive health interventions and regional and ethnic conflict.2 Negative reactions to Ebola response teams ranged from refusing aid materials and declining to participate in response activities to violent demonstrations and verbal and physical assaults against response workers. Over time, the intensity of the opposition decreased, due in part to social mobilization and community engagement efforts.3 We conducted a search for peer-reviewed literature, news articles, and response reports using the terms “hemorrhagic fever,” “Ebola,” and “Guinea” and excluded any reports that did not describe Ebola response activities in Guinea, did not mention community engagement, or did not provide some reflection on success or failure. The initial search yielded 508 reports, of which 46 met the criteria. The following report is a review of the 46 published reports of Ebola-related activities undertaken during the 2013–2016 outbreak in Guinea that met these three criteria. Some efforts were successful, some not, but all provide useful information for current efforts. The summary below is organized into nine sections, which roughly parallel six Ebola response pillars (contact tracing, Ebola treatment centers, safe and dignified burials, vaccination, infection prevention and control, risk communication/community engagement), and three topics that cut across pillars (response structure/processes, use of health services, reintegration of survivors).
